What determines if an item of clothing is feminine or masculine? Women can wear almost all clothing designed for men without drawing too much attention to themselves. The same does not apply for men. That is where semiotics play a big part. Form, colours, texture, and other factors, such as social values and heritage, influence the way we perceive clothing, as feminine or masculine. You can manipulate these symbols to achieve the desired effect; making your clothes masculine or feminine, or somewhere in between. This collection focuses on the blurry line between the masculine and the feminine.
